I don't necessarily disagree with anything you are saying. However, it's more complicated than the way you are describing it. First of all, there is no universally accepted exact definition of either "white privilege" or even the concept of "whiteness". The definition espoused by esteemed journalist Fareed Zakaria (who hosted a CNN series on race last year) is far more nuanced and complex than what is being stated on this thread. Even the Wikipedia "White Privilege" article states "the concept of white privilege ignores important differences between white subpopulations and individuals" and also "the notion of whiteness cannot be inclusive of all white people."
Not all people who consider themselves to be "white" are able to benefit from "white privilege" because of factors like social status, economic circumstances, lack of education, and other things. |
